Creating a friendly and cooperative atmosphere in the office can only increase the productivity of employees who become 10 times more engaged in their work and are 40% more likely to be promoted.
So what are the secrets that make it possible to create a “second family” at work?
It’s all about balance. You can’t really force this culture. But you can generate an atmosphere of trust in your business:
- Organize activities based on sharing: create a meeting space for your employees,
- Plan outings during lunch breaks with colleagues, the best ideas are born outside of the office,
- Arrange team-building outings to strengthen team spirit,
- Organize events of the weekend.
Functional office design
Although experts believe that putting desks in an open space encourages employees to cooperate, recent studies indicate that employees need quiet, distraction-free spaces to perform better. With collaboration with remote teams, the results can be perfect.
To create an atmosphere of cooperation between team members, it is necessary to
- Have a break room that has games such as table football or ping pong,
- Have a friendly canteen,
Set up compartments because concentration and discretion are essential to improve team productivity.
If your employees prefer to work from home, try to move beyond your belief that people can only produce or manage work by being in the office.
Telecommunications is an important asset that will push your employees to give more, being grateful for this privilege.
Professional training
To improve the profitability and efficiency of your business, consider investing in training for your staff to develop their skills and nurture their talent. You already knew that, right?
We must maintain a balance between professional development and personal development. Many large companies have changed their management style to reflect the personal careers of their employees as well as the long-term goals of the company.
This logic is very simple: an employer who is voluntarily interested in the interests of his employees wins a loyal team. The loyal employees are more invested and more productive.
If you want to keep your employees and encourage them to do their best without spending too much, you need to adopt a system that helps them evolve their skills while fulfilling their missions and responsibilities.
Find out about the areas that interest them the most to help them learn better and especially to facilitate their access to these training courses.
In conclusion
Employees who feel professionally engaged drive up aspirations within their company. They will voluntarily engage in other projects of the company to accomplish them in parallel with their daily tasks. As long as they’re busy, they’re less likely to look elsewhere.
